Overview

• Jay-Z has filed a defamation lawsuit in Alabama against Jane Doe and her lawyers, Tony Buzbee and David Fortney, claiming the rape allegations were knowingly false and malicious.
• The lawsuit alleges that Jane Doe admitted to Jay-Z's representatives that he did not assault her and that Buzbee pressured her to pursue the claims for financial gain.
• Jay-Z argues the previous lawsuit, which was dismissed in February, caused harm to his reputation, emotional distress, and financial losses exceeding $20 million for his company, Roc Nation.
• Buzbee denies the allegations, stating that Jane Doe stands by her claims and accusing Jay-Z's investigators of harassment and intimidation tactics.
• The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and damages, aiming to hold the defendants accountable for what Jay-Z's legal team describes as a calculated extortion attempt.
